When compared to nearby middle schools, such as those in the Fort Osage R-I, Lee's Summit R-VII, and Blue Springs R-IV districts, Oak Grove Middle generally underperforms on academic measures, with lower proficiency rates and rankings. For example, Bernard C. Campbell Middle in the Lee's Summit R-VII district and the schools in the Blue Springs R-IV district consistently outperform Oak Grove Middle on state assessments and have higher statewide rankings. To address these challenges, Oak Grove Middle may need to focus on improving instructional practices, curriculum alignment, and targeted interventions to support student learning, as well as addressing the school's high chronic absenteeism rate.
